    It is. Jews had their drivers’ licences revoked and lost property rights to their cars on Dec 31th 1938.

      It’s hard, looking at the prologue of the darkest part of modern history replaying in realtime.

      Unimaginable how it feels for those directly affected right now. And soon enough, nobody can watch from the sides.

      Reprint of contemporary news article:

      A police decree withdrawing all automobile drivers’ permits issued to German Jews was published yesterday. Signed by Heinrich Himmler, chief of all German police, the decree was intended as further punishment of the Jews, who already have been fined $400,000,000, for the murder by a Polish Jewish youth of Ernst vom Rath, third secretary of the German Embassy in Paris.

      That’s true! And the letter that Kansas sent out specifically states:

      “Upon surrendering the credential, you will be issued a new credential reflecting the gender identification consistent with statutory requirements.”

      So this time they still get to have their licenses. Its absolutely bullshit, and ridiculous, and abuse of power, and harassment, but just a baby step away from full on revoking of licenses.
